Abstract
There are provided a permanent magnet and a manufacturing method thereof capable of densely sintering the entirety of the magnet without making a gap between a main phase and a grain boundary phase in the sintered magnet. To fine powder of milled neodymium magnet is added an organometallic compound solution containing an organometallic compound expressed with a structural formula of M-(OR)X (M represents V, Mo, Zr, Ta, Ti, W or Nb, R represents a substituent group consisting of a straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon, X represents an arbitrary integer) so as to uniformly adhere the organometallic compound to particle surfaces of the neodymium magnet powder. Thereafter, a compact body formed through powder compaction is held for several hours in hydrogen atmosphere at 200 through 900 degrees Celsius. Thereafter, through sintering process, a permanent magnet is manufactured.
